3 Be a crowd pleaser
What makes outdoor partying such a celebration is that you can all pile in to enjoy food and wine together. Bench seating is ideal for a crowd as you can always squeeze one more in, and they are great for children too. Buy long seat cushions for comfort or smaller square ones that can be re-used elsewhere. Dot wine and drinks coolers about so guests can help themselves and you don’t have to rush around playing host. Keep plenty of throws on hand for when the sun starts to set but the wine is still flowing.
